“This story is not for people who are good at living. In this world, there exist people who are so good at living that they do not need a "story" at all. They are the ones who think stories are, after all, just a pastime for your hobbies, that they are not necessary for life, and therefore it is a waste to spend money on such things. I did not assume such people to be my readers from the beginning. I cut them off. On the other hand, there are certainly people who need stories like oxygen still. I always hope that Bungo Stray Dogs will become the oxygen for such people. They are the "lost ones" that Dazai talked about.”

“The reason I hate glasses so much is because I think the beauty of your eyes is the best thing about people. Even if they can’t see your nose or if your mouth is hidden, I think all I need are your eyes—the kind eyes that will inspire others, when they are looking into them, to live more beautifully.”
― Osamu Dazai, Schoolgirl

“Where should I direct this burning resentment, this feeling beyond despair? Who should I curse if I do not even believe in a god?”

“I'm not even human. Something as sophisticated as a heart wouldn't suit me.”
